Most of the time, people can't see them.
I have a bunch of snakes but even my neighbors don't know I have them because I don't take them out in public.
I've got no screws or bolts and frankly, prefer to be socially invisible.
What kind of bond?
This guy is currently cruising his condo about 6 feet frm where I'm sitting, desperately hoping I'll notice him and bring him out so he can be with me for a while, like this.
He'll visit with me on the sofa for a bit and then wrap the laptop for a couple of hours, in what appears to be a companionable mood.
I know people who sit on the sofa and watch TV with their Boas.
They're more than people assume.
Jake [along with my other snakes] would last about 5 minutes in "nature".
They cannot defend themselves or provide for themselves.
When my 3 foot Ball Python went missing in the walls for 3 weeks, he was nearly dead when I found him.
He was attempting to constrict and kill a -very- small house mouse, incredibly unsuccessfully.
When he went back in his house, he drank for 10 solid minutes and ate 5 times his normal amount of food.
He was an abject failure as a "real snake.
“He was attempting to constrict and kill a -very- small house mouse, incredibly unsuccessfully.”
Now now Mr. Mouse, I know I’ll get it eventually!
*No hurry old chap. Really.*
I’ve got it now!
*Wait, that actually adjusted my back some! Please, Sir Snake, can you.. kinda take care of that bad shoulder blade for me?*
This.. this isn’t working.
*What are you talking about? It’s working wonderfully! My back never felt better!*
I’m so glad to read that you found him! I remember that he was lost for a long time and then I lost track of the thread. Yea!
I was waiting for your opinion on this story as even I thought it sounded pretty spectacular and unusual. I, too, am thinking the two legged kind of animal may have had a hand in this...
